Shua-e-zar Na Mili Rang-e-shairana Mila

shua-e-zar na mili rang-e-shairana mila

mata-e-nur se kya mujh ko munsifana mila

main kis se puchhun ki is sail-e-KHak se bahar

kise nikalna na tha kis ko rasta na mila

kahin dikhai na di anjum-e-dua ki chamak

ghane andhere mein ek hath bhi uTha na mila

bhaTak raha hun main is dasht-e-sang mein kab se

abhi talak to dar-e-aina khula na mila

jalae phirta raha mishal-e-tajassus main

magar suragh kahin khoi sham ka na mila

ugalta hoga kabhi sona chandi KHitta-e-dil

mujhe to ek bhi sikka yahan paDa na mila

nawah-e-jaan mein wo tufan-e-habs tha ki 'hasan'

hawa to kya ki kahin hawa na mila
